This is an xforms bug. Tedious isn't it.

Can you tell us what bind file you are using?
Edit->Preferences->Look&Feel->Interface->Bind file
If it, by any chance is menus.bind or de_menus.bind then change it
IMMEDIATELY to emacs.bind, cua.bind or something meaningful. This bug has
already been fixed but it will really mess up your use of lyx.
Thanks for the feedback.

ps. Are you subscribed to the lyx-devel list. If so, I won't cc all these
mails.
